I have the Grandmaster Legacy box set on my kindle and I just picked it one day when I didn't know what to read, and this was book 1. I was really surprised. I didn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't what I read.There was love, romance, sex. sex, sex. Did I mention sex? Chinese fighting, fighting to the deaths. More sex. You get the picture, but it was fabulous! I loved it.Going to read the next book later, if its anything like this one, then I'm going to be in for a treat!

There were things I liked about this book and things I didn't. It was a bit confusing at times because it seemed to be written in two different time frames. It was as if the author couldn't decide whether it was a historical or contempary book. There seemed to be things that were not within the context of the late 1800's when it was supposed to be based. At least that was what was alluded to at times but then something would be said or done that just didn't fit the time frame and there was no ex...

Girl = TSTL Doormat.Guy = Unrepentant cheater still screwing around up to the 90% mark.HEA? Yeah. They deserve each other.I think that sums it up.As general fiction, I rated it 2 stars. As romance, 0 stars. That averages to 1 star.P.S. If readers want to read an actual romance novel where the author skillfully deals with the sensitive issue of cheating because the guy has severe commitment/abandonment issues, try True Love Story by Willow Aster. There, you actually witness Ian's difficult journe...

Started but not finished.

OMG - HOT

Lei Chang has come to the ranch to train for reaching the pinnacle of martial arts - kung fu master. Fighting against men much larger than herself, she is fearless. She catches the eye of Grandmaster Wyatt McManus, a wealthy, business savvy half-breed, who appreciates her talent and wants her in his bed. He guards his heart because he thinks he can never love anyone like he loved his wife who died giving birth to their twins who are now 5 years old. Lei wants to be the one who captures his heart...

Erotic...very erotic. Good read, interesting story with history.

I'm going to pretend that his love for h at the end was real and that he is faithful to her from here on out. I can pretend this since I'm not going to read the next book in the series (in which the H DOES cheat on the h)

Personal preference I had to take several breaks in reading as this book is not a one setting read. The characters are great the interaction good. As stated not for the faint of heart. Could it have been written with less detail possibly but that was part a large part of the story. I will diffently check out the rest of the series.

Historically questionable; consentually questionable. Story could have potential, but I felt dirty (as in sickened, not as in naughty) after many of the scenes--and I am usually lenient with this genre due to obvious flaws and problems the genre itself usually has with quality writing.Also, historically the timeline of events as well as character's language use seemed off, inappropriate, or just inaccurate.Author's use of adjectives and adverbs was repetitive. Although that is a common trait of

I really enjoyed the look at the wild west from the perspective of those who were marginalized by European-Americans. That was great and more interesting than your usual western, but the Hero, Wyatt... Man what a complete and utter self absorbed immature cruel asshat. Sure he grovels at the end, but by then it was too little too late. (view spoiler)[ not to mention he is still boinking the OW while trying to get back with Lei (hide spoiler)]. I have to say his character went beyond the pale and...

I persevered to the end because the writing was fluid and the premise intriguing, but I couldn't connect with the characters. Perversely this annoyed me so much, I'm determined to read more by Taylor Lee to divine why not. Go figure.

I was intrigued by the blurb on this book about the Kung Fu fighting in the American West and a romance between a half-breed Kung Fu Master and a half-Chinese female student. It was quite an incredible story though not for the faint of heart.Lei Chang is the daughter of the strongest Tong leader in America and she wants more than anything to become a Grand Master of Kung Fu. Her father, Wan, cannot deny her so she is sent to study at the prestigious dojo of Joey, who trained the current best Gra...

Unusual themes for historical 'romance' . Very steamy . I've now read all three and enjoyed. Particularly enjoyed The character of Bai who predominates in the later stories .

The prose is serviceable and the setting is interesting, but I couldn't read past the second time the kung fu master sexually assaults his beautiful young student. The author clearly intends these scenes to be sexy and romantic, but when a woman says no repeatedly and the man continues to force himself on her, that's assult, even when the man is attractive and the woman finds herself physically aroused.

My goodness! What the hell did I just read? When I learned that there's a cheating hero involved, I almost.. almost put this book down, but then I read that the heroine got pregnant and hid it from the hero. I was like, yeah! I'm such a sucker for "secret-baby-trope." So I decided against my better judgment to continue with it, and boy, I was beyond disappointed. But for all it's worth, this book has a fascinating premise, and it was quite good. But the execution of the story/plot was a bit of a...

H continuously cheats on the h throughout the entire novel. He sleeps with others even after the h leaves him, only bothering to go after her when he finds out she's pregnant.

This man was so selfish, callus and cold....he does not acknowledge his actions that have devastating consequences on the people that surrounds him... could not appreciate a "woman" that cherished him and took care of his children from his first died wife...all he did was cheated on her multiple times and rubbed that in front of her face having no regard to her feelings not his children and even when she left him for "those reasons" he still continued having sex with other women for months not a...
